Threadlockers From Loctite

Threadlockers from Loctite are a single component anaerobic adhesive comprised of unique liquid resins that harden (or cure) to a durable solid when exposed to metal ions in the absence of air. The anaerobic cure mechanism allows the adhesive to flow and evenly settle to lock and seal threaded fasteners without curing permanently. Any excess threadlocker will remain liquid, and is easily wiped away from the assembly. They are designed for the locking and sealing of threaded fasteners which require easy disassembly with standard hand tools. Threadlockers protects against vibrations, loosening, leakage and thread corrosion. Cures without cracking or shrinking. Resists lubricants, solvents and most chemicals. Locks, seals and retains nuts, bolts, screws, fittings and assemblies. Stops rust and corrosion.

Choosing the right threadlocker for your application:

Low Strength: Purple color, removable with hand tools, good for adjustment screws, calibration screws, meters and gauges, and for fasteners up to 1/4" in diameter

Medium Strength: Blue color, removable with hand tools, good for machine tools and presses, pumps and compressors, mounting bolts, gearboxes, and for fasteners up to 2" in diameter. Available in liquid, tape and stick formats.

High Strength: Red color, for permanent assemblies, heavy equipment, suspension bolts, motor and pump mounts, bearing cap bolts and studs, and for fasteners up to 1" and larger in diameter

Wicking: Green color, removable with heat and hand tools, for pre-assembled fasteners, instrumentation screws, electrical connectors, carburetors and fasteners up to 1/2" in diameter.

825 Cushion Stat™ Mats From NoTrax®

825 Cushion Stat™ is a dissipative/anti-static mat made from a NoTrax® exclusive Dyna-Shield® PVC sponge, specially formulated to absorb static electricity keeping sensitive electronic circuitry safe from damage. The non-directional pebble embossed top surface is easy to clean and provides excellent traction. Ideal for workstation environments that require anti-fatigue relief while working with delicate circuitry or components. Overall thickness is 3/8". Available in pre-cut mats, rolls and custom pre-cut sizes.

Cushion-Stat™ with Dyna-Shield® is manufactured with a tough protective top layer that increases the strength of the product and provides long lasting wear. Dyna-Shield® is a revolutionary process perfected by Superior Manufacturing Group that creates a tough protective barrier on the surface of select foam anti-fatigue matting products. Dyna-Shield® mats have greater tensile strength, and are more resistant to wear than traditional sponge matting.


Features:

  • Overall thickness is 3/8"
  • Dissipative/anti-static mats are formulated to absorb static electricity
  • All four sides are beveled to minimize trip hazards
  • Specially compounded pebble-embossed PVC sponge manufactured with exclusive Dyna-Shield® protective top layer
  • Testing is per EOS/ESD Association Draft Standard, "Standard for Protection of Electrostatic Discharge"
